Abstract

After the Great Reforms of the 1860s – 1870s the Russian government embarked on the construction of a modern nation-state and was faced with the need to unify all parts of the empire administratively, culturally, legally, and socially. The new ethno-confessional policy in Russian historiography is often called Russification because the order established after the Great Reforms in the Great Russian provinces served as a model for the transformation of all parts of the empire. The Russification policy included many aspects, including Russifying [obrusenie] - the introduction of the Russian language as obligatory in the record keeping of public institutions, in court and administration, in education and everyday life. While the policy of Russifying has found ample reflection in the historiography, its results have been insufficiently studied. The purpose of this article is to fill this gap and to try to assess the process of Russifying ethnic minorities at the imperial level, drawing upon the first general census of the Russian Empire in 1897. The analysis has led to the conclusion that the policy of Russifying did not provide the expected results.
俄国帝国晚期的俄罗斯化政策及其失败
在19世纪60年代至19世纪70年代的大改革之后,俄罗斯政府开始建设现代民族国家,并面临着在行政、文化、法律和社会上统一帝国各部分的需要。俄罗斯史学中新的民族忏悔政策通常被称为俄罗斯化,因为在大俄罗斯各省大改革后建立的秩序是帝国各部分转型的典范。俄罗斯化政策包括许多方面,包括俄罗斯化(obrusenie),即在公共机构、法院和行政部门、教育和日常生活中,必须引入俄语。虽然俄罗斯化政策在史学中得到了充分的反映,但其结果却没有得到充分的研究。本文的目的是填补这一空白,并试图根据1897年俄罗斯帝国的第一次人口普查,评估帝国层面的少数民族俄罗斯化进程。分析得出的结论是,俄罗斯化政策没有提供预期的结果。

期刊介绍: Russian History’s mission is the publication of original articles on the history of Russia through the centuries, in the assumption that all past experiences are inter-related. Russian History seeks to discover, analyze, and understand the most interesting experiences and relationships and elucidate their causes and consequences. Contributors to the journal take their stand from different perspectives: intellectual, economic and military history, domestic, social and class relations, relations with non-Russian peoples, nutrition and health, all possible events that had an influence on Russia. Russian History is the international platform for the presentation of such findings.
